In passing, we all hope for a peaceful journey into the Lord's loving arms, and Martha embodied the light she followed to the gates of heaven early Sunday morning. She received her heavenly wings at 6:50 am on Sunday, December 8th. After battling Parkinson's, the Lord granted her wish of being home surrounded by her family and best friends.
Many are measured by what they accomplished or by how much they made in life, but this is not the case for Martha Palmer. Her life was measured by those she loved, those who loved her, and the many descriptors she embodied. She was a Christ-following believer; an incredible wife; an embracing and loving mother to her girls and so many others; a besotted and sexy Grammie; an adored starfish sister; a phenomenal educator; a sassy T.J. Red Hussar; a best friend to all in need; a lover of reading and books; a life-saving bone marrow donor, a traveler of this wide-world; a comforting embrace; and an involved member of Service League of Port Arthur, Delta Kappa Gamma, Professional Educators Organization, Golden Triangle Emmaus, Friday Lunch Bunch, Temple Women's group, and various Bible studies and volunteer organizations.
Martha leaves behind her soulmate and the love of her life after 52 years of marriage, Monty Palmer; her legacy of caregiving and educating the world with her two daughters and sons-in-law, Beth and Faris Mondey as well as Diane and Errol Johnson; additionally, her magnum opus of grandchildren who embody the best of her: Connor, Brayden, and Addison Mondey and Ethan and Darby Johnson. Finally, her nephews who are progeny of her amazing sister, kind-hearted Michael and vivacious Richard McDuff.
Martha was preceded in death and welcomed with open arms in heaven by her parents, Duval and Marie Futch, and we have no doubt she is dancing in heaven with her sister, Mary Beth McDuff, aka Sissie.
